they will have hard but honorable
task to perform to carry out their
high resolve, but those who know
their temper and ability feel sure that
they will do it, and give them all hope
and good cheer.
A BUNGALOW.
The first feature OF peculiar and at
tractive interest in the new settlement
will be the erection of fine specimen
Of a bungalow, such as Europeans
have erected on the heights around
Bombay. Mr.. Cuflett, the architect
Of the new courthouse at Los Angeles
is the architect of the edifice. with
Tom f. Rowan as advisory counsel
with regard to the facilities for the
special comfort Of the inmates.
The water for this Edenland is to be
brought in iron pipes from Lytle
creek, in the Sierra Madre, to large
reservoir on the upper side OF the
tract, and thence distributed to every
subdivision, which will consist OF ten
,cres each, or may be divided into
two and half acres each, with ever!
lot on a corner OF broad, straight
street, planted with evergreen shade
trees. The plan contemplated makes
an earthly Paradise. But to intensity
the interest in the new Edenland there
appears
ANOTHER RICHMOND IN THE FIELD
In the persona of Mr.. R. B. Hunter, a
capitalist from the Dominion OF Can
ada, and Mr.. H. L. Macneil of Los
Angeles, who have purchased the
splendid tract Of 5000 acres Of similar
land adjoining that Of the Dukedom,
and the English water rights and
| privileges adjoining the present settle
nens Of Etiwanda, and wi | proceed
with enormous developments. The
ca,ital stock Of this new syndicate i-
$4O0, 900, of which $75, 900 will be soon
spent in water works. The whole
OF the several tracts will be laid out SO
,s to harmonic in r,-gard to avenues
and streets, which will be from 10 to
l5O feet in width. A motor RI ad ON
Cotton to Ontario will pass through
this combined settlement, and the new
survey of the mesa line OF the South
ern Pacific Company passes through
it. The various tracts combined
will make home for TO-
600 people in land of beauty
and promise. The plans of the vari-
Gus water companies from Cotton to
Etiwanda embrace the placing of wat
er on $4,000 acres of dry land of won
ieriul fertility, and the work ia begun
in earnest. Wells bave begun to flow
, tunnels, which are artesian wells ly-
, ing on their sides, have commenced to
} pour out water from heights that CON-
mand all the fruit land on the plains.
, Col. Hotchkiss is glowing with more
than his former enthusiasm, and that
is saying great deal. When he en-
tiers the romantic cahon that has all
its sands permeated with gold he pays
, no attention to the auriferous deposit.
but, like Moses, smites the rock and
the waters come forth. As he listens
to the murmuring music of the dash
ing waters, he mounts a rock on some
beetliHg crag and pours forth torrent
!, OF eloquence, spontaneous, original
and apostrophic. The peroration OF
his Latest speech, as reported on the
spot by a HERALD reporter, was adj
dressed to the youth Of America, urg-
ing them to come to this fair land,
saying:
| Come those who are strong to do,
willing to dare, able to grasp all the
enj yments of a rich, full life. with y
climate fit for the gods and goddesses,
and food fit for every palate, a land OF
beauty ready-made for thee"
The murnuring voices Of the waters breathe
Perpetual anthems, and the blue skies smile
: Between, To heal thee with their infinite
hope"
The developments now going on will
cost millions of dollars, but the sales
OF land furnish the sinews Of war for
the continued prosecution OF these
great works. The citizens OF Cotton
are alive to these great works and are
taking sensible measures to help the
cause of progress along; remarkable
case is shown in
THE CHARLES BEAN TRACT.
| This tract is near the great fruit can
merry, in the heart of the corporate
limits of Cotton, on the north side OF
the track of the Southern Pacific rail-
road, between that road and the
motor road to San Bernardino, with
the great county road passing it on its
way to beautiful Lugonia, Redlands
and Brooksi,le. The streets are eighty
and eighty-two feet in width, with
alleys in the rear of lots. The lots are
offered at $75 a piece to those who
will improve them. and are just the
| place for manufacturers and mechanics
who desire TO be near the center OF
business and the facilities for shipping
and receiving goods, wares and mer-
chandise.
The lots are generally 25 by I45
feet with u perpetual water right.
But in addition there is an esperial
value in the western portion of these
lots, which is an arte>ian center Of
great richness. Flowing wells can be
made on this tract at an elevation Of
800 feet above the city of Los Angeles.
